NO
Just keep in a cool place out of sunlight (dark)
How about once top is popped ?
You don't pop the top. You pull water out of it with a syringe, so its multi-use.
Well mine came with a top that was on top of the insert for the syringe.
Once open store in a fridge and use within a week. That is the safe way but I do go over that amount of time sometimes! I have never had an infected area from the injection.
I have never heard of BC only being good for a week. You can use it a lot longer than that if you refrigerate it.
Yea, i've got bac water that's over a year old that I still use. No problems.
Make sure it's kept out of light and you should be fine.
I did say "once open"Quote:

Any suggestions where to buy the bacteriostatic water?
just google it. there are a thousand places
My bacteriostatic water became cloudy on me. Refrigerated as always after opening and when I drew out it was cloudy and not from air bubbles either. It's expiration date is still good. I'm assuming it went bad. Anyone know about this. Have never had it happen before.
Noob question
What's it do and how do u use it ( doh)
Well its not like yet born with this knowledge it has to b learned :-)
